Okay I really want a digital set of drums

10 days ago by OhShitSon to c/drums

I haven't played the drums in like, 20 years.

I'm looking for a digital set of drums for me to play on.

Edit: Thank you for all the replies, I'll check out my local music shop and see what they stock!

Bite the bullet, find a brick and mortar music store and physically handle the choices.

Something might look fine online, but feel terrible when you try to play it.

this. do NOT buy stuff online unless you know exactly the quality, sound and whatnot.

looks are useless to judge anything on honestly.. actual build quality must be seen and experienced in person.

this applies to a LOT of things. online shopping usually results in garbage

I have an Alesis Nitro set, and have been very pleased with them.

Been there, done that 🙂 I got Roland V-Drums (td1kv). I see there are newer sets out there now, make sure your snare has a mesh head, the rest depending on your budget. I feel like though the material was different, Roland did their best to provide as much ‘analog’ experience in digital drums as possible (mute cymbals with hand, different sounds for hitting different parts of the drumhead, hi-hat having preassure-sensitive pedal in stead of only making the distinction between open and closed). Also, room/housemates will still hear that you are playing, they just won’t hear drum sounds. The neighbors won’t complain though 🙂

It really depends on your budget?

Dunno honestly, but I'll probably go with the advice of going to a brick and mortar store and decide there.
